What are DAPH Briefings?
All serving headteachers of Devon primary schools are members of DAPH and are strongly encouraged to attend the Briefing sessions which are recognised as the forum for the communication of key messages on issues affecting schools. The Briefings, which are held each term, are free of charge to members (one free place per school site).
There is a regular update from the Head of Education & Learning plus other invited guests and the opportunity for headteachers to ask questions and provide feedback as well as discuss and share views on matters affecting school leadership.
Booking terms – one free place per Devon primary school and subject to availability. DAPH reserves the right to make a notional charge for late cancellations, no-shows and additional places and bookings from attendees from other phase associations and/or from schools outside of Devon Local Authority.
